Virtual Vital #3 update

Virtual Vital #3 is coming soon, but we've run into a little technical difficulty. Namely, that we had the post 98% written, went in to do some final add-ins and edits and Blogger 'poofed' the post. I don't know if you've noticed, but Blogger auto-saves every so often. In this case, I was working on the post and accidentally deleted all the text while trying to move something around. Blogger auto-saved, I hit back on the page and it was all gone. Sigh. So, helpful hint/handy tip: it can be a really good idea to compose your blog posts in your regular word processing program, then copy and paste into your blog site. We're recreating #3 for you, and plan to post it in a day or two and it will be bigger and better than ever! The good news is that this gives you time to finish #2, if you haven't done so already!

This is the perfect example of when it's beneficial to have a tool or two handy. Amy is now composing & saving her work in a Word document; I'm using Text Editor. If we wanted to work collaboratively, instead of on separate sections, we could have chosen Google Documents or a wiki. Although this incident was annoying, we'll be able to recreate the information without too much difficulty. Imagine if you were writing an important paper or a journal article! The more we know, the more possibilities of which we are aware, the easier our life becomes. And THAT'S the rest of the story.
